| This Woolworth was built in 1949 and opened in 1950. The building most recently housed the Five and Dime Antique Mall. The store closed in 2021 but the lunch counter remained open. It is now being adapted as a music venue, with a music education center and recording studio. It is expected to open in 2025 and the lunch counter will remain. The Woolworth sign will also be preserved. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] |
